SUMMER NAMM 2013: Blackstar announces LT pedal range

The new stomp boxes, which include the LT Boost, LT Drive, LT Dist, LT Metal and LT Dual are the first tranche of a new series of pedals which will eventually include modulation and time-based effects, as well as more gain options.

The pedals are due in stores by the autumn, and with US prices starting at $79.99 (approximately £53), the LT range is clearly going to be the top of many a guitarist's Christmas list come the end of the year.

Each pedal in the range can be powered by a 9V battery, as well as an optional mains adaptor, and can be easily incorporated into a player's existing pedal board.

All pedals in the range feature high integrity buffered bypass and silent switching. In addition, the LT DIST, LT-Metal and LT Dual models offer the lowest cost option ever for players who want to experience Blackstar's patented ISF control, which enables players to take their sound from UK to US and anywhere in between.

These pedals mark the start of an ongoing series which will expand to encompass gain, time and modulation-based effects. All models will be available Fall 2013, with US Street pricing as follows: LT Boost - $79.99; LT Drive - $79.99; LT Dist - $99.99; LT Metal - $99.99; LT Dual - $149.99.
